For $160K?

Anybody making that boat? I can think of a number of boats that could fit the bill but which one(s) could be had for $160K

RPM

we talked to Chris at Lavey about a year ago and it was around that price. Not sure who is taking over building them though.

I saw the blue one they just laid up over in Eliminator’s yard on Sunday.
Sirbob could probably work a deal on that bare hull and build it.

Talon Powerboats


I've seen pics of Talons but not in person. My impressions are they seemed to have a pretty stripped down interior? I could be wrong?? I want something more west coast traditional.

You would be close on a Daytona 255, if you kept the options down.

Is this a true cat, or center pod. Also, do you know the width?

26' to 28' cat factory new with twin Merc 300Rs for $160K? Probably a little too optimistic -- lower the bar a little -- maybe a pair of nice Tohastsu 115 HP perhaps.

It looks like a pod based the under deck shot in the link.

Curt Jensen @Eliminator Boats Built himself a super nice Cat with twin 300's and custom stuff that none of the productions boats have and is selling it. Not sure of the $$

I know there are plenty boats north to way north of that number but was wondering if anybody was building a little smaller boat for the non ballers.

All the usual suspects are building that boat in the 30-40 ft @ 2-5 times that price. But I'm not that customer ;)

Motors are roughly 25k each. So, I wouldn't think it would be undoable.

Tons of pictures in this article. Josh @ Teague owns it, you may be able to stop by the shop to see it and talk to him about it. Not sure if he keeps it there or up north.

So, a 160K boat is not baller? Noted ;)

Unless they have changed their pricing (lowered it), They couldn't sniff the $160 area when I was trying to build one almost exactly a year ago. All white, no stereo, no capping, blk/wht non alcantera interior, single screen, 2 axle trailer, etc. BARE BONES....

Pretty sure it went up with another planned increase. That was during the Vid rush though.

26 Nordic deck?

Over $200k for those! I'm in the market to buy a new boat and priced out a few manufacturers. I couldn't understand the nearly $40k price difference for one with a 600 and twin 300s...

For a new build it will be tough to build for that cost. You can PM me and i might be able to work a deal with you on a new project.

Do you know if the transom was set up for outboards or I/O?

No i don’t, however i know Roy doesn’t short cut stuff and I’ve heard him talk about both options on that specific boat. Was going to get twin ob’s but most recently he was talking about a #6 and 800+ hp

I've decided to set up both the E-Ticket and the RPM with #6 drives.
The E-ticket is already done.
The transom on the RPM is not cut.
If your interested, better call me soon. I'm planning on doing the RPM this week.
